Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top centimeter of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during the growing season.
Reduce watering in winter to prevent root rot, but do not let the plant completely dry out.
Prune Solanum bullatum in early spring to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This encourages bushier growth and can help improve air circulation.
Light pruning can also be done after flowering to maintain its desired form.
Propagate Solanum bullatum from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, bright location until roots have formed, typically within 4-6 weeks.
Repot Solanum bullatum every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound, preferably in the spring. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one and use a fresh, well-draining potting mix.
This provides fresh nutrients and space for root development.
